basketball superstar

Chapter 105
The Pistons' defeat was expected, but it was unexpected so quickly.

The low shooting percentages of Prince, Rasheed Wallace and Hamilton are considered accidental, and few other things in the game can be seen.

Qin Yang misplaced defending Prince again and again. No one remembered the figures of Rasheed Wallace and Hamilton. What all fans remembered were James' rebounds, steals and blocks.

As for misplaced defenses and extremely monotonous shots, fans will not look at these.

There is often a big gap between impression and reality!
Qin Yang didn't care about these. Although he didn't have specific feelings, Qin Yang could still feel the changes he brought to the team. Not to mention the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Qin Yang was very good at dealing with these three.

Prince is old, and he is not good at forcing a breakthrough.

Rasheed Wallace is also older, and his tricks are straight-arm shots and turnaround shots.

Hamilton's signature is to run and catch the ball.

The three players who were good at shooting were not sharp enough to break through, so they happened to be restrained by Qin Yang. Qin Yang's defensive effect was very good.

On this point, Qin Yang has a natural advantage.

……

The Cavaliers settled the battle within four games at home and away. Sweeping the opponent 4-0, the next thing the Cavaliers have to do is to wait and wait for who the next opponent is.

The next opponent will be the winner of the Heat and the Eagles.

Now four games have passed and the two teams are tied 2-2.

What is even more frustrating is that the two teams win and lose each time is very clear, there are very few games with a difference of less than 10 points, and the two teams have not fought fiercely until the last 5 minutes.In the last quarter of the first four games, the point difference was already 15+.

The outcome of the game has been decided.

That's interesting.

The game between the Eagles and the Heat looks very interesting. The tactics and game situation of the two teams can almost be treated as textbooks.

For the Heat, with Wade at the core, the team will definitely have three players who are good at shooting and are ready to shoot from the outside at any time.

The Eagles, all members can attack and defend well, but they don't have superstars with super strength. The Eagles King Joe Johnson played very low-key throughout the series. Although he scored the first in the team, he averaged only 17 points per game.

There is only one reason for the Heat's victory, that is, outside players shoot more accurately. As for Wade's shooting percentage at the basket, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

It sounds unbelievable, but it is true.

In a game of about 22 shots, Wade averaged [-] shots per game, and the shooting percentage of the remaining [-] shots was enough to determine the outcome of the game.

In the three games that the Heat won, James Jones, Quick, Chalmers and others all had high shooting percentages, and when the outside shooting percentage dropped, Wade alone could not affect the overall situation even if he felt good.

Perhaps, many people think it is incredible, but the data fully illustrates this point.

Throughout the series, Wade averaged 29 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. This data is not bad for any superstar.

In contrast, the Eagles are a representative of weak chickens. The highest average score per game is Joe Johnson, who only has 17 points.

In the team's comprehensive data, the Heat averaged 45% from the field and the Eagles averaged 42.2% from the field. The Heat's field goal percentage was significantly higher.

But the Heat still lost.

Looking at the four games that the Eagles won, the Eagles' three-point shooting percentage was always higher than that of the Heat, and after the Heat lost outside support, it was natural to lose.

Basketball is a sport of shooting hoops.

Shooting is the easiest, most direct, and most unstoppable way to score in basketball.The three-pointer is one of the most important indicators.

Some people say that Joe Johnson is not a superstar, because in many games, Joe Johnson was unable to stand up and score, but in the key game of the tie-break, Joe Johnson made 19 of 10, 8 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals.

This hit rate is simply against the sky.

In contrast, Wade made 25 of 10, 9 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, 31 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. Although the data is dazzling, the Heat lost.

Shooting determines the outcome of the game, and it has been verified over and over again in the NBA.

On May 5, after the last game, the Eagles came to Cleveland non-stop after only one day of rest, and the game officially started on May 3.

The Cavaliers have already rested for nine days at this time.

Cavaliers.

"In this series, I hope everyone can do their best. With such an advantage, everyone has to resolve the battle in four games and get ready for the next series."

LeBron James encouraged the team and hoped that the team would win the Eagles as soon as possible.

This is also the best choice for the Cavaliers. Once the Eagles are won in four games, the Cavaliers will have a great advantage in the next round of the series, which is the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the 5th, the first playoff game between the Cavaliers and the Eagles started at the Quicken Loans Center.

This round of the series has too much advantage for the Cavaliers.

Physical strength, mentality and home field advantage are obvious.

As soon as the game started, James began to attack with the ball. The Eagles' lineup actually restrained James relatively, because the Eagles defended well on the outside and also had a good defense on the inside.Al Horford and Josh Smith are both insiders who are good at assisting defense. In this case, it is a test of the Cavaliers' outside shooting ability.

But in the first quarter, James went berserk.

单节詹姆斯6中5，罚球6中5，三分球2中1，拿到16分5篮板2抢断的全能数据，在詹姆斯的带领下，骑士队25-21领先。

Except for James, the Cavaliers played averagely. Big Z and Mo Williams were 3 of 1, while the Eagles' starting five scored all points and used the team advantage to make up for the point difference.

In this quarter, the Eagles have no disadvantages in rebounds and assists, but there are a lot of turnovers and fouls.

In the playoffs, in addition to shooting percentage, turnovers and fouls are the key.

In the second quarter, Qin Yang came on and replaced Delonte West.

The Cavaliers still focus on offense.

As soon as Qin Yang came on the court, the effect was obvious. Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson defended well on the perimeter. Joe Johnson didn't make a shot in a single quarter and only sent out two assists.

James was 6 of 2 this year, with a slightly lower shooting percentage. Qin Yang used the pass to drive his teammates, and the Cavaliers scored 26 points.

It's a pity that the Eagles were in excellent form in the second quarter, shooting close to 23% from the field and scoring [-] points.

The Cavaliers led by 7 points in two quarters.

In two fierce battles, no one lost to anyone. The two teams were really desperate, and the defensive intensity was quite high, which was not comparable to ordinary games.

But during the break, Qin Yang drank the energy drink, and instead exhaled softly:

"LeBron, the opponent is no longer able to keep up with his physical strength. In the next quarter, beat them."

James looked at the Eagles who were resting not far away, and nodded. Both of them had the same feeling that the Eagles were at the end of their battle.
